Sarah Ann (Varner) Bixler, 78, of Clinton, Arkansas went to her heavenly home on Thursday, March 29, 2023 (after a short illness). She was born Sept. 1, 1944 to the late William Henry Varner and Kate Allen (Beene) Varner. She had been a resident of Conway, Arkansas before moving to Clinton.
She is survived by her son, James Thomas Henderson, Jr. and daughter in-law Teressa (Terry) Ruth Henderson of Carmel, IN; her daughter, Deborah Ann (Henderson) Scroggins and son-in-law Timmy Scroggins of Clinton, Ark; her grandchildren, Peter Graham Henderson, Emily Anne Henderson, Joshua Andrew Henderson, Joseph Timothy Scroggins, Rebekah Ann Scroggins & Annabelle Grace Scroggins; great-grandchildren, Makenna Brynlee Jo Henderson, Lucille Judith Ann Henderson, Tessa Jo Carilynn Scroggins, Ruslyn Hazel Scroggins, her brother, Robert Preston Varner.

Sarah worked at the Arkansas Human Development Center for most of her life. She was a great cook which her family enjoyed with great enthusiasm. She enjoyed restoring and painting furniture, crafting with thread and yarn, gardening, singing to the hummingbirds that visited her daily, reading her books, and taking care of animals that people brought to her and that found their own way to her farm. Most of all Sarah enjoyed her relationship with Jesus and talking about God with others. She loved her family, and they will miss her very much. They are grateful for all she did and all the memories she has given them.
Funeral Service will be Monday, April 3, 2023 at 2:00PM at Roller McNutt Funeral Home in Conway. Visitation will begin one hour prior at 1:00PM. Interment will follow at Hartje Cemetery.
